Chapter 575: Ghost Cultivation Method, Golden Winged Tiger Breakthrough(2/3)
It is not an easy task to transform into a ghost cultivator, especially since Zhou Daoquan himself is only at the late stage of Zifu, so the success rate can be said to be very low.
Zhou Chun must prepare the best training ground and spiritual objects for him to increase his success rate.
Fortunately, Zhou Chun had harvested a large amount of yin-type elixirs and spiritual minerals in the ancient underground city before, so he had abundant reserves of important materials, so there was no need to worry.
All that's left is to prepare other supporting materials.
According to the ghost cultivator inheritance record in the ghost face token, immortal cultivators of different cultivation realms who want to transform into ghost cultivators need to prepare different levels of spiritual materials to assist them.
Otherwise, even if the transformation to ghost cultivation is successful, it may lead to a decline in cultivation level.
Therefore, if a monk in the Nascent Soul stage turns to ghost cultivation, although the success rate is higher, the requirements for relevant materials are also higher.
And the most important point is the size of the evil place.
The size of the evil place has a huge impact on both the success rate of converting to ghost cultivation and the future practice of ghost cultivation.
For example, if monks in the Nascent Soul stage want to change their cultivation to become ghost cultivators, they must at least choose a large Yin evil place like the ancient city of the "Earth Dog Clan". Ordinary Yin evil places simply cannot meet their needs.
Zhou Daoquan's cultivation level is only at the Zifu stage. After turning into a ghost cultivator, he will remain at the Zifu stage.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In this way, even a sinister place like the Valley of Resentful Souls, where Zhou Chun had stayed in Di Country before, would be enough to support his conversion.
Of course, it would be better if he could find a higher-level place of Yin evil, so that he might have the opportunity to try to hit the realm of ghost cultivation in the golden elixir stage in the future!
The Zhou family currently knows of quite a few evil places, but most of them are located within the Feng Kingdom and are the scars left by the original Corpse Demon Cult and the Yuan Demon Legion.
It is naturally impossible for Zhou Daoquan to go to places like that and switch to the path of ghost cultivation, otherwise if someone discovers him one day, he will easily be exterminated and protected by demons!
As for the evil place in Jingguo, the place where the Zhou family raised the green-faced ghost apes was barely usable, but choosing that place meant that Zhou Daoquan would basically have no way to advance in the future, and the small place made him feel like he was in prison.
In the end, Zhou Daoquan chose the sinister place in the wilderness, which was the original location of the Dragon Transformation Sect's Blood Dragon Division Mountain Gate.
There are almost no high-level monks in the wilderness, and monsters don't like to go to the evil land. Zhou Daoquan chose to cultivate there quietly, so he didn't have to worry about being disturbed.
The only inconvenience is that it is too far away from the family, and it will be quite troublesome if you want to meet the clan members in the future.
However, considering that his transformation into a ghost cultivator will be classified as a top secret in the family, there is no need to pay too much attention to this.
Time passed slowly, and half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, in the ruins of the Blood Dragon Division Mountain Gate, on a square altar with a unique shape, Zhou Daoquan was sitting cross-legged, with a pig, a python, a wolf and three heads of second-level high-grade monsters tied up in front of him.
To transform into a ghost cultivator, you need to sacrifice blood to the Lord of the Netherworld, attracting a stream of ghostly energy from the Netherworld to cleanse your soul.
At this time, when the moon was in the middle of the sky and Zishi came, Zhou Daoquan, who had adjusted his condition, immediately stabbed his chest with a bone blade, piercing his heart, and then used the knife as a pen to write on his body.
Each mysterious rune.
Wherever the blade passed, wisps of blood overflowed from the wound. The strange thing was that the blood did not flow directly along the wound, but strangely condensed into blood marks and remained on Zhou Daoquan's body.
Not long after, Zhou Daoquan's body was covered with ghostly patterns, and ghostly face patterns were faintly formed on his chest and back.
At this time, he was already extremely weak, but he still summoned up the energy to use the magic weapon to decapitate the three demonic beasts as sacrifices, causing their blood to flow all over the altar beneath him.
Immediately afterwards, a desolate and low mantra sounded from Zhou Daoquan's mouth.
This low incantation sound seemed to awaken a certain consciousness in the dark, and soon a gust of cold wind appeared on the altar with a "woo-woo" sound.
Then a strange scene occurred.
After the dark wind blew over the altar, all the blood on the altar and on the three monster beasts began to dry up and solidify quickly. Even the bodies of the three monster beasts shriveled up to the naked eye, as if all their essence had been drained away.
Afterwards, it seemed that the sacrifice was quite delicious, and the dark wind suddenly turned into a black whirlpool on the altar.
As the vortex turned, a dark black ghostly energy that was invisible to the naked eye came out of it and sank directly into Zhou Daoquan's Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness.
After feeling this ghostly aura, Zhou Daoquan's heart shivered, and he hurriedly absorbed it into his soul using the spirit movement ghost cultivation technique.
As his soul accepted the ghost energy of the underworld, the ghost marks on his body seemed to be activated all at once, and his whole body suddenly ignited with blood-colored flames, and the essence of his body was rapidly consumed in the burning of the blood-colored flames.
At the same time, the evil energy around him seemed to be attracted by something, and began to flow towards Zhou Daoquan like moths to a flame.
Time passes slowly.
I don't know how much time has passed, but Zhou Daoquan's body has been burned to ashes in the blood flames, and the blood flames have long been extinguished.
There was only a faint humanoid shadow sitting cross-legged on the altar, constantly absorbing the evil spirit.
At this time, Zhou Chun suddenly appeared outside the altar, and with a wave of his hand, he knocked out a black jade bottle, causing it to fall on the head of the human figure.
Immediately afterwards, a jet-black liquid dripped out from the jade bottle and fell on the human-shaped shadow.
After a while, as if he had taken something powerful tonic, the silhouette of the human figure, which was originally indifferent, began to solidify visibly to the naked eye.
When all the black liquid in the jade bottle had finished dripping, the silhouette of the human figure could be clearly seen. Its appearance was exactly that of Zhou Daoquan, and he was still middle-aged.
Looking at it like this, his transformation into a ghost cultivator this time was obviously a success!
"How's it going? Uncle, how do you feel?"
Zhou Chun looked at the slightly unreal figure in front of him and curiously asked Zhou Daoquan about his own feelings.
He had only read about the existence of ghost cultivators in classics. Only the person involved knew how different ghost cultivators were from normal immortal cultivators and even demon cultivators.
"It feels pretty good. Apart from the lack of physical sensation, it's not much different from using spiritual consciousness to perceive the outside world."
Zhou Daoquan replied in a low tone.
Since he has no physical body, his speech can only be simulated by vibrating the air with his spiritual consciousness or mana, or he can rely on his spiritual consciousness to transmit his voice.
After answering Zhou Chun's question, he looked at Zhou Chun with gratitude and said, "It's really thanks to Zhengchun that bottle of pure Yin spirit liquid.
The evil spirit here will probably not be able to support my successful transition to cultivation. It seems that it is too risky to switch to ghost cultivation at the Zifu stage!"
The bottle of pure Yin spirit liquid in his mouth was made by Zhou Chun himself, consuming five Yin-type elixirs that were at the thousand-year-old level.
This kind of treatment is difficult for many golden elixir stage monks to enjoy when they switch to the path of ghost cultivation.
After all, although Yin-type elixirs are of little use to immortal cultivators, finding elixirs of such a high age depends on chance.
However, Zhou Chun had no regrets about this. He waved his hands and smiled nonchalantly and said, "Uncle, you are so polite. As long as you can successfully change cultivation, a mere bottle of pure Yin spirit fluid doesn't mean anything."
"Since you have successfully transferred to cultivation, I will not disturb you to consolidate your cultivation. If you want to contact the junior and the Supreme Elder in the future, you can directly send a message to Elder Lin."
"After you have consolidated your cultivation, this junior will come visit you again!"
After saying that, he took the initiative to say goodbye and left.
After all, humans and ghosts have different paths. Ghost cultivators can be regarded as ghosts in a certain sense. The evil place they live in is really not a place suitable for normal immortal cultivators.
Moreover, Zhou Daoquan had just successfully transferred to cultivation, and his cultivation level was only equivalent to that of an early-stage monk in the Zifu, and he was not proficient in any ghost cultivation spells. At this time, he needed to seize the time to consolidate his cultivation level and practice spells diligently!
As for his safety here alone, Zhou Chun is not worried.
The ghost cultivator may have many flaws, but in his own territory, his life-saving ability is notoriously strong.
Because they have no physical body, they can hide in ghost caves deep underground when in danger.
Unless you have special means to restrain ghost cultivators, or the strength to destroy the evil place here, it is not that difficult to kill a ghost cultivator here.
It can be said that good things come in pairs. Not long after Zhou Chun returned to the family, several years after eating the third-level high-grade wind-attribute demon pill that he exchanged at the Canglan Sect exchange meeting, the Golden-winged Tiger finally completely digested the entire demon pill.
Dan's power has broken through to the third level of high quality.
Unlike Thunder Dragon Baibai and Golden Armor Bearing Mountain Turtle Stone, it has unique bloodline talents and can go straight to the fourth level without bottlenecks.
After reaching the third level of cultivation, the golden-winged tiger's road to progress has reached a checkpoint. If he wants to break through and evolve into a fourth-level monster, he must have another great opportunity.
It's just that Zhou Chun doesn't have time to help it find this opportunity for the time being, because there are really a lot of things to do, and they are all important things.
So for the time being, we can only let it practice slowly to accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity to come.
After solving the matter of Zhou Daoquan's conversion to ghost cultivation, Zhou Chun finally let go of his worries.
He immediately calmed down and while training his disciples, he began to practice several newly acquired secret arts and magical powers.
Among them, Zhou Chun had already collected the auxiliary spiritual objects needed for the first level of "Little Five Elements Breaking the Forbidden Mysterious Light" during his previous travels, and even the three auxiliary spiritual objects needed for the second level.
At this time, while he was practicing the first level of secret skills, he asked the family monks to help him look for the remaining two spiritual objects.
As for the golden evil energy required for the cultivation of the "Evil Element Diamond", Zhou Chun went directly to the place where he originally collected the "Earth Mother Black Gold" and collected a large amount, which was enough for him to slowly refine for decades.
In this way, Zhou Chun now mainly practices several secret arts and magical powers, which are "God-killing Technique", "Gengjin Sky-Splitting Thunder", "Beast Spirit Fusion Technique", "Little Five Elements Breaking the Forbidden Mysterious Light", and "Sha Yuan Diamond".
.
As for the "Golden Escape Technique" that he has been studying, since he has not yet started, there is no way to start practicing it.
Once a cultivator meditates quietly, he will not feel the passage of time.
When Zhou Chun reappeared in the eyes of the people, it was already seven years after Zhou Daoquan turned to the path of ghost cultivation.
Seven years ago, after Zhou Daoquan turned to ghost cultivation, the Zhou family held a grand funeral for him and erected a tomb in the family tomb.
Today, seven years later, Zhou Chun reappeared in front of the public to preside over another funeral, that of Zhou Xinyi, the acting patriarch of the Zhou family!
Over the past hundred years, Zhou Chun has devoted himself to cultivation, and all family affairs have been managed by Zhou Xinyi. It can be said that he has devoted his whole life to the family, and his hard work has made great achievements.
It's a pity that because he only has cultivation in the foundation-building stage, and even his soul has not been manifested and condensed, it is impossible to follow the path of ghost cultivation.
Now that he passed away at the end of his life, the patriarch Zhou Chun made an exception and attended his funeral to commend him for his contribution to the family.
"Xinyi has worked diligently and hard-working for the family throughout his life. The family's current status and power are inseparable from his contribution. You and your descendants should follow him as an example in the future and always remember what he has done for the family."
